Yes, I plan on migrating a lot of that information, but as you said
the last time we talked about this, the FAQ's format and content
aren't the same as what a UG would want.  That's why I'm starting with
the TOC and giving everyone a chance to make sure the layout and
topics are correct before I start filling it.

I did use the FAQ's table of contents as a starting point.  The Guide
will be more of a tutorial, though, so some rearranging is inevitable,
some new sections will have to be added, and some FAQs will be left
out (and put in the Book Project, I hope).
